[G] [C] [G]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I feel the news faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way to [G] New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I slayin' soft while Bobby sang [C] the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' [G] time, I was holdin' Bobby's candy mask
[D] We sang every song that daddy knew
[C] Freedom's just another word [G] for nothin' left to lose
[D] Nothin', I mean nothin', hun, if [G] it ain't free, na-na
[C] Yeah, feelin' good was easy [G] love when he sang the blues
[D] You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby, yeah
[A] From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
[A] Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
[A] Yeah, Bobby, baby, [E] kept me [A] from the cold
One day up near Salinas' lawn, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home and I [D] hope he finds it
When I train all of my friends for [A] one single yesterday
To [E] be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
[D]
Freedom's just another word [A] for nothin' left to lose
[E]
Nothin', that's all that Bobby [A] left me
[D] And feelin' good was easy [A] love when he sang the [E] blues
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me
[A] Good [E]
enough for me and my Bobby, [A] yeah
